歌词:
There's a zoo near my home
And it's always full of tourists
who come to see the lions, monkeys and fish
But I'd never been there
And I didn't know why
Animals don't have to work
Maybe I was jealous of that
But today was different
I finally walked in
I was leaving this city
'Cause I'd been laid off
"Have a good time!"
said the ticket lady
She didn't know that I came here
Only to say goodbye
The lions were sleeping
They wouldn't even look at me
Monkeys fought over an apple
That was not what I cared to see
As for those fish
Well, they were indeed swimming
The fishtank was quite small
At least they didn't pay the rent
Nothing is different
We all live by chance
Born as a human
It was not my choice
"Welcome to the world!"
they said to a baby
who didn't yet know it felt
like a giant zoo
Nothing is different
We all live by chance
Fate lifted a finger
We tumbled down deep
Some tried to climb out
Some flew out lightly
Some cried in the dark
Sorry, that was me
There was an animal show
yet I walked right past it
I was tired of human performance
And even animals had to work
Feeling so bored
I left the zoo
The pale sun was setting
And I didn't know where to go
